Comment on How Uber’s pricing ranks against its competitors by Gerard Boyce
Taxis services in Saint Lucia appears to cater mainly for tourist and visitors from the region. Our local people are left out of that service. Taxis can make more money if they make their services available to the ordinary man and woman by encouraging fare sharing among the local people. The mindset that Taxis are luxury for the rich and famous must be dispelled and that anyone can hire a taxi for long or short trips. Taxi Drivers should put more effort in exposing their business to the wider community and just not a few people. Many persons from Castries want to go shopping at Cul de Sac, Gros-Islet etc but don't want to sit on a bus perspiring until the bus is ready to roll, they are willing to take a taxi and share the fare. The Taxi Driver must be more innovative to make his money and stop thinking of taxi not as luxury but as a business for all.
